One of the first women to graduate from St. Dunstan's University, graduate of
McGill library science program, avid traveller, voracious reader, devoted
member of the Catholic Church.

Our mother was an enduring constant to us and she will be sorely missed. She
was a tireless provider of support and affection in our lives and she could
always be counted on for timely and valuable advice. Her love and pride in her
children and grandchildren was strong and demonstrative throughout her long
life. Our mother possessed many enviable qualities. She was very intelligent,
tenacious, loyal to those who deserved it, generous to friends, family and
those in need and possessed of a sharp sense of humour. She was also gifted
with an extremely well developed work ethic which allowed her to overcome many
obstacles and difficulties that were present in her early years. Her charitable
actions have touched many lives positively in and out of her immediate circles
and our lives are poorer for her absence. After a long and tiring struggle to
maintain her independence in the face of mounting physical difficulties, she
now has the rest and peace that she deserves.

We would like to thank the staff of Oak Park Retirement Residence for their
kindness and consistency in our mother's excellent care, especially in her last
days. We are particularly grateful to her companion Lori Dupont whose presence
elevated mom's day every day.

Friends may pay respect at Resurrection of Our Lord Church, on Monday, December
